Hello, All!

In principle I am in favor of natural approaches to growing
vegetables but today I made some Vichysoisse soup and I was
reminded that leeks are perhaps the filthiest vegetables on
sale. As usual, the leeks I bought were covered with soil,
organic I hope! I wonder why this should be? Celery can also
require careful cleaning but hardly ever as much as leeks.
